kogti [31]

Answer:

.a. import sweaters from Britain and export machinery to Britain.

Explanation:

A lower opportunity cost of manufacturing a particular goods means that a country uses fewer inputs in production compared to other nations. The country can produce more quantities of the product using similar factors of production. A lower opportunity cost in manufacturing will make a country's output cheaper compared to when that product is manufactured in other nations.

Varying production costs form the basis of international trade. A County imports commodities that are produced cheaply elsewhere and exports the goods it can manufacture at a lower cost. The united states can produce machinery at a lower cost than Britain. Britain will be prudent to import machinery from the united states rather than produce. Britain produces sweaters using fewer inputs that the US. The US will find importing sweaters from Britain more economical compared to manufacturing.
